I am an american citizen and I just got my husband his residence about a year ago. My mother-in-law and brother-in-law were here in the u.s. since 2003 and they tried fixing their papers with the mothers husband but they were denied. They were appealing the case when my mother-in-law split with her husband and she ended up going back to mexico. My husband plans on applying to fix their papers as soon as he is a citizen also, but we want to know if his mom will be able to or will they give her a consequence of 10 years probation for leaving the country? I really miss my mother-in-law and brother-in-law and want them back here so bad. And we will try and do what ever we can to get them back but we would like to go the legal way about it. If you know anything that can make this process easier please let us know. Thanks for reading.
